Because unlike Blake from Beautiful Girl, I’d look damn funny bald.

And speaking of Blake. Blake is bald. I know this. He’s my character. I even know why he’s bald… not a fashion statement or premature hair loss or anything. He’s a cancer survivor.

So why I did have Del grabbing his hair in the book?

Plain and simple…I got caught up in the scene and didn’t think. Not an excuse. Just the way it goes. And I suck at catching those sort of things. Although I caught a few when I did my read thru, and my advance reader caught a couple as well. And the editor caught some of the little slip ups like that, but I think I pepper them liberally throughout the book… and we didn’t catch them all.

I make plenty of mistakes with the books. Spell check is wonderful, but it doesn’t catch correct words used in incorrect ways… oh… like this one…

He lips her laps.

Fill in the blank what you think it should read. I know it was one of my earlier EC books and I know my editor was so totally tickled with it. And after turning totally red with embarrassment, I laughed.

I try to catch what I can. But I’m lousy at it. So now, to make it easier on all concerned… *G*…. I use readers before I even send in a book. See? I’m trying.

And just so ya know… I’m getting that ‘hair’ thing in BG fixed. Promise. He looks good bald, so we’ll just let him stay that way. 😉
